disease, BSE, the UK faces the possibility of a major epidemic of lethal
brain disease according to Britain's leading expert on vCJD, or "human
BSE", Prof. John Collinge of University College London. He believes that
only people who are genetically susceptible have contracted the disease
so far, although there is evidence the disease could silently incubate
in a person for many decades, without any symptoms. To read the full

3. Are We Close to a Bird Flu
Pandemic?
According to scientist Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of
Wisconsin-Madison the H5N1 virus, commonly known as the bird flu, has
already mutated and thus has the possibility of developing in the upper
respiratory systems of humans, which could easily increase the chances
of the virus spreading from one person to another. Dr. Kawaoka refers to
samples taken from birds in Africa and Europe, which show mutations that
resemble human viruses. Dr. Kawaoka’s report was published in the Public
Library of Science journal PLoS Pathogens. To read the full article

Exploiting God’s animals for profit and taste has only brought misery to
Creation. Factory farmed animals are raised under extreme confinement,
fear and pain, making disease transmittal more likely. We can show
respect and reverence for God’s Creation by adopting a pant-based diet
than can help us reduce animal suffering and restore our health.
